Away For A Month

Hazel WestThe next day, I arrived at the city's conference room early in my private car, wanting to scope out the place and make sure everything was in order. Dunlop arrived shortly after, looking focused and ready for the task at hand. We just brought two trustworthy members of the team, a videographer and Stacy, my secretary.We didn't want the whole team at BLC knowing about the exclusive rumor, we all knew every company had its snitches. I tried calling Jacob again, but I got no reply. I just decided to carry on with the current work at hand and find out what was wrong with him laterWe found a good spot near the entrance where we could see the governor arrive and leave without drawing too much attention to ourselves. As we waited, we reviewed our questions one last time, making sure we were prepared for any situation. As expected, there were few journalists that were at the scene, so it wouldn't be hard to get to the governor. Finally, the governor's car pulled up, and he stepped

Uncovering The Governor's Fraudulent Activities

Hazel WestIt had already been two days since Jacob informed me about his business trip to New York. Suddenly a month sounded like a year.“Promise me you’ll keep in contact with me every day” I said, holding his hands tightly.Jacob smiled softly, squeezing my hands in return. “I promise, Hazel. I’ll call you every day and update you on everything.”I nodded, trying to hold back the emotions that threatened to spill over. “I just... I need to know you’re okay.”“I will be,” he reassured me. “And I need you to take care of yourself and the boys. Focus on your work. We’re getting close to something big, and I know you’ll get to the bottom of it.”His words gave me a sense of comfort, but I couldn’t shake the feeling of unease. “I’ll miss you, Jacob.”“I’ll miss you too, Hazel,” he said, leaning in to kiss my forehead gently. “I’ll be back before you know it.”He and Ranger dragged the luggage and went into the plane. He kept waving till the plane took off, and he was out of sightAs he

The End Justifies The Means

Hazel WestDays went by and Dunlop was more than frequent at my house because of the investigation we were carrying out. The kids were happy about the development and I guess I was kind of getting used to his presence, but I made sure not to get drawn and attracted to him all over again. I set some boundaries for myself.After Dunlop left my house, I went through the USB drive again, looking closely at the files the man claimed would prove that the governor was embezzling the state’s resources. One of the documents showed that he was supposed to reconstruct a highway road, costing a million dollars, but nothing had been done on the road yet and there were no signs that anything would be doneThere was another file that showed over five hundred thousand dollars unaccounted for under the governor’s care. There was another file that talked about the illegal distribution of drugs and weapons by the governor himself. I had to find out if he was getting impeached or not and if he wasn’t, I n

The Kidnap

Hazel West I walked into my house and the lights were turned off. That was weird, the kids wouldn't have gone to bed this early. “Lucas” I called out, trying to find the light switchHe was supposed to be in charge of the kids until I got back. What magic did he perform that made them go to sleep so early “Zion?”“William?” Still no response I found the light switch and turned it on. Everything was okay. Maybe Lucas was upstairs with the kids. I was about to go upstairs when I got grabbed from behind and a large hand covered my mouth. The last thing I remembered was being dragged away I woke up to a very bright light, everything was blurry at first but it cleared upI was still at home, I tried to move but I realized that my hands tied to a chair and my mouth was taped shut I tried to scream but it only came out as muffled sounds and I tried moving but to no avail. I couldn't set myself free. What was going on? Was this some kind of prank?Zion and William wouldn't do this. I c

Kidnapped

Hazel West The feeling was no longer the same. William and Zion were no longer with me and I felt like a part of me was gone I contemplated calling the cops a few times after I finally found a way to untie myself but I noticed that men dressed in black suits and dark shades were always around my house I also noticed a red blinking camera was setup at strategic corners of my house watching my every move. I was so restless, there was nothing I could doI couldn't sleep throughout the night, just merely thinking that the kids and Lucas could be in danger and there was nothing I could do about it I had to hand over the usb drive and all other evidence I had on him to get back the kids but what about justice? Justice for the innocent civilians that he had been defrauding like that poor whistle blower?I took a shower and walked over to my wardrobe to find something to wear. I scanned through my wardrobe and shuffled past all my colourful clothes because they're was nothing colorful abou

Escape Route

Hazel West It was finally the day that I had to turn in all evidence I had against the governor to himI had gathered all the paperwork and the USB drive. There was absolutely nothing I could do. I noticed his men following me everywhere I went. He kept tabs on all my calls and monitored me even in my house I just really hoped he kept to his word and returned the kids and Lucas “Grayson, I've got the evidence where should I meet you up” I asked after he picked up from the private number he gave me to call“Very good Miss West. I'm glad you are cooperating. I can assure you your people will get back to you safely” he said calmly “5th Street on the lonely highway. Just stand in the middle of the road and drop all the floor, someone will come pick it up, then we'll communicate where you can find your people” Grayson’s voice returned, cold and menacing. "And Hazel? Don’t try anything stupid. Remember, we’re watching you."“Grayson, how about we strike another deal to make sure Lucas a

Secret Language

Hazel West “Park here” I instructed Dunlop who was sweating because of how fast he drove We stepped out of the car and walked into a nearby restaurant. I have only minutes before Grayson's men realize the trick we played on them “Will you tell me what is going on now?” Dunlop asked breathing heavily “Ok, promise me you won't freak out” “Hazel” Dunlop called out impatiently“Okay, okay I'll tell you”“Remember the investigation we're carrying out on Grayson Axel, the governor”“Of course I do. What about it?”“Remember the whistleblower that gave us the flash drive that had most of the governor's bad records on it”“Yeah I remember the whistleblower. He didn't tell us his name though. Where are you going with all this”“Ok so, Grayson found the whistleblower and it directly led to me. He visited me at home and tied me up. He even shot the whistle blower in front of me. He kidnapped Lucas and the kids and he is possibly going to kill them if I don't hand over the evidence. Here's t

The Hunt Begins

Hazel WestThe first phase of the plan was done, we just had to find where Grayson was hiding Lucas and the kids. We couldn't trace his location because he used a ghost phone“Is it done?” Dunlop askedWe were in a secluded part of BLC, Grayson wouldn't be able to track us down here. Even I didn't know of this place till now“Check it out” I sniffed, still feeling the impact from when Grayson shot Lucas .Dunlop looked at the decoy drive. It was set to encrypt after the first view. That meant immediately Grayson viewed it once, the drive would automatically lock itself making it completely useless to him.“Damn, this is so good. Where did you learn this level of encryption” Dunlop asked, clearly amazed by my skillsI smiled sadly and he saw that I was still disturbed by the recent call of GraysonFor the first time in a while, his touch didn't irritate or disgust me. He raised my chin so I could meet his gaze. I couldn't hold back anymoreI just let the tears drop and he pulled me in f

Double Me

Hazel West“Hazel, you never learn. I must say” Grayson said and my heart beat rose over the top. Did he find out that I involved the FBI?“Why is your phone untraceable and why did I see some men walk into BLC with luggages?”“I honestly didn't do anything” I said, tears dropping firm my eyes “I don't know why my phone is untraceable and those men are out investors that came for a meeting” I liedI looked at Alejandro and he signalled me to keep going“What were in those bags then?”“They were just set up items for the seminar that they were going to give” I sniffed trying to sound believable“Keep going. We're almost there” Alejandro whispered“Nothing is wrong Grayson. I wouldn't risk the lives of my kids in such a way. I'm leaving the office right now. I'm coming over to the lonely highway right now with the evidence you asked for. Please don't harm my kids” I tried to keep him on the line“Please, Grayson, I’m begging you,” I said, my voice trembling.“You should have thought abou

Captured

“Wear this, I and Dunlop will be able to communicate with you while you're in there. And also don't forget to put on your glasses so we'll see everything you see from this tablet. I'll fly up a surveillance drone to guide you around the building. You've got this” Oliver told me“We’re going to get them back, okay?” Dunlop gripped my handI turned to open the door but before I did, Dunlop dragged me back and pulled me in for a hug“Whatever you do, don't die” he whispered in my ears and felt something liquid drop on my backWas he crying?“We're running behind guys. Hazel needs to start moving” Oliver reminded usI wiggled my way out of Dunlop's arms and he was actually crying. What was this about? Last time I checked he divorced me and threw me out of his house so what was this display for?I didn't put much thought into it. I opened the door and went out, walking from where we parked to the abandoned buildingAfter walking for a bit I was at the back entrance of the abandoned house. T
